Jill Soloway presents SHE WANTS IT: DESIRE, POWER, AND TOPPLING THE PATRIARCHY
This live event, brought to you by Women & Children First, takes places at the Waldorf auditorium and celebrates the publication of Jills explosive new book, SHE WANTS IT: Desire Power and Toppling the Patriarchy. Each ticket includes one copy of SHE WANTS IT.
The evening promises a raucous conversation between Soloway and Hannah Gadsby, plus Q&A from the audience and special appearances by Pidgeon Pagonis, Claudia Martinez, and Elaine Soloway, and music by Faith Soloway.
Soloway and SHE WANTS IT are uniquely positioned at the center of the current gender and consent conflagrations to offer new perspectives on dated and damaging he said/she said binaries. Jills transition -- from identifying as femme, female and straight -- to queer, masculine-of-center and nonbinary -- brings a pivotal new perspective and radical feminist philosophy to this moment. Like all of the events on Jills national book tour, the evening will be an instigating, participatory forum for thought leaders and audience alike to engage with the front lines of our ideas about gender, power, desire, and consent.
The purchase of your ticket includes the event, a copy of the book, plus book signing and merch sales afterwards. The evenings vibe will mirror the book's passionate cri de coeur, so expect comedy and incendiary patriarchy-toppling notions. Special guests will take part in bringing to fruition Jills dream of creating a spectator sport around the dynamic of feminist arguing.
